Imphal, February 10 2009:
Taking into account of the genealogical heritage of the Kuki nation, the United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) has asked all concerned tribe leaders that there should be no more new organisation/mobilisation of people on communal lines, conveyed a press release issued by the outfit's information and publicity secretary TL Jacob Thadou.
While acknowledging the '22 tribes' recognised by both the Centre and State Governments, the UKLF asserted that the Zoumi Namni festival should not be celebrated in Manipur as it is celebrated in Myanmar as Chin National Day.
There is no other festival except Kut which is recognised by the State Government as Chin-Kuki-Mizo festival, it asserted.
The outfit further asked leaders of Zillai Student Organisation not to re-constitute the student organisation in Chandel district.
